The time I saw NIN, Godspeed You Black Emperor was opening, and I knew nothing about them.
Guy comes onstage, starts tuning his guitar, another comes out, starts tuning and it's completely out of tune with the first, then another, then 15 minutes later I realized "wait, this is their first song"

The very best mango I've ever had was in Manila. I don't really want to go back to the Philippines, but I do remember that mango with incredible fondness.
In *this* economy?
They are terrible under no circumstances should anyone not currently in New York come here to eat bagels just leave them all to us to dispose of properly.
If you didn't bother writing it, why should I bother reading it?
Hooray!
Okay, this is vitally important for me to know: does cheese *prevent* or *cause* oral cancer? One of these is great, one of them will send me into a depression until my cheese-based oral cancer claims me.
Congrats on achieving familiar ceilingness!
We'll, now she'll be in Westminster, maybe her clients didn't vote for her so they didn't have to look for a new plumber!

I learned more English grammar from my Latin classes than I ever did in any class from the English department.
I met Nick back in, um, 2000 or 2001? We had mutual friends in the interactive fiction scene. He was doing weird hypertext poetry and generated text even then.
I'm not trying say there's not something weird going on, but I don't think this is a case of "I used ChatGPT to write 10 sci-fi novels."
Three snow figures on a stone railing: one turtle, one T rex looking thing, and a rubber duck.
The neighbors down the block got creative post-blizzard. Please note the detail on the turtle shell!
Did you catch yourself? I once caught an entire refrigerator on a glue trap: it's trapped so well it's still there!
Wow, this is amazing.
I mean, they are clearly indestructible, so why wouldn't they be giant goofballs?
I used to hate it in a fun way, and now I just hate it in a sad way.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Downcrawl is great, I've loved using it with my group. I've been eyeing Skycrawl, this might be the time.

It is the romanticest
David Byrne (singer for the Talking Heads) famously wore a Big Suit costume for their Stop Making Sense tour in the 80s (there's an amazing concert video of the show, go watch it, it blew me away).
The original post is the lyrics of the Talking Heads song Once In A Lifetime, translated to Spanish.

I cracked up and then had to spend quite a while trying to explain this joke to my wife, so extra credit to you.
The pie crust recipe I got from my grandmother also makes two crusts, and since one ingredient is an egg there's no good way to have it, so I just usually have a spare pie crust in the freezer for next time.
Yeah, my favorite part of a Becky Chambers book is the cozy friendliness, but my second favorite part is dentbots.
Yeah, the south is the top of the map, which is interesting, I wonder if that's the way the map faces?
I am just past the top of this thing, very cool!
This tactic was also attempted by my then 12-year-old to explain their grades, and worked about as well with me as it did with the judge.
